Kingspan Kooltherm® K118 are premium performance rigid thermoset phenolic insulated plasterboards. Replacing the K17 & K18 ranges; sheets have a lower lambda value which means the same thickness of insulation is now more thermally efficient than its predecessor. The composite foil backing is now suitable for plaster dab /adhesive situations or can be mechanically fixed in internal dry-lining applications. 

Reasons for using K118

K118 is part of the hugely popular and premium performance Kooltherm® range of products. With the exception of Kingspan’s OPTIM-R range, Kooltherm® products offer levels of thermal resistance that can’t be surpassed by any comparable product on the market today.

Using K118 is also a good way to save money on labour time as the insulation, plasterboard and vapour control are fitted at the same time.

These plasterboard laminate sheets can be used in a number of different applications and can be mechanically fixed to timber rafters or battens on masonry walls when lining out a building. They can also be used in conjunction with metal wall lining systems. Care must be taken to ensure the correct type of mechanical fixing is used appropriate to the sheet thickness and background. Any such method will enhance the thermal protection of buldings both new and old.

As the insulated face now has a low emissivity composite foil bonded to it, it can also be applied directly to masonry walls using a suitable 'dot & dab' adhesive method. Kingspan also advise that suitable secondary fixings are also used.
